Friendship for Sale (FREE)

I recently hired a photographer for a family event - someone I didn't previously know. After she did a little social media investigating, she messaged me saying that we had a lot in common - dogs, books, plants, and food - and that's how a new friendship was formed! (Hi Lindsey!)

This, compacted with a blog idea from a close friend that I haven't yet been mentally ready to tackle, led me to an interesting idea...

An article I read recently talked about how electronic communication is instantaneous, but not intimate enough to create the emotional investment that leads to developing a close friendship. It's no surprise then that we often feel like our friendships are derailing or losing their connectivity. I have experienced this firsthand... Moving away from your friends makes it hard to see each other face-to-face. Add in full-time jobs, differences in schedules, kids, etc - and it can be really hard to find time for one another.

That intimate face-to-face time is crucial to nurturing a relationship. With the loss of those friendships, I've found myself with a bit of a void that I would like to fill with some local, like-minded ladies. So, ladies, I am open and open-minded, with a lot to offer. This is my ad for friendship. My friendship is for sale, and it is free.

If you were to write a friendship ad for yourself, what would it say?? Here's what I came up with:

➽ 29 years, stuck in an old lady's body

➽ Married to my college boyfriend

➽ Dog mom to a medium-Instafamous Schnoodle

➽ Avid reader, when I'm not too busy binging tv

➽ Blogger of life's triumphs and trials

➽ Works in the financial industry, but lives the "treat yo self" lifestyle

➽ Says she doesn't like people, but loves customer service

➽ Will never turn down tacos

➽ Cake is my favorite food

➽ Constantly re-watching Gilmore Girls and is sort of an expert in all things Gilmore

➽ Will yell "DOG!" and point at every dog I see

➽ Very detail oriented, but has no patience

➽ Always down for carpool karaoke

➽ Addicted to Amazon Prime

➽ Likes to drink Diet Coke 24/7

➽ Loves to thrift shop

➽ Will always offer you wine

➽ Prefers to be home and in bed by 10pm

➽ True crime junkie

➽ Dream jobs include food taster, professional beach-goer, traveling anything, book editor, and a for-hire organizational guru

That's just the first twenty things I came up with - which honestly took me a long ass time to come up with. Tell me, what would your friendship ad say?
